In a moonlit backyard a mythical game of cricket is being played between two boys. Over the course of the game, we contemplate the physics, motion, pitfalls and beauty of this idiosyncratic sport.

Created by Trent Parke and Narelle Autio in collaboration with Matthew Bate, Summation of Force VR is a virtual reinterpretation of their moving image work.

Dark, surreal and exquisitely beautiful, this virtual reality artwork uses cricket as a metaphor for life itself.

The Riddoch is excited to show this unique work on the following dates:

14 – 16 June
2 sessions:
11am – 12pm
2pm – 3pm
